Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2005/001371 filed on Aug. 31, 2005. This application claims the benefit of Chinese Application Nos. 200410051322.5 filed on Aug. 31, 2004, 200410051318.9 filed on Aug. 31, 2004, and 200410051766.9 filed on Sep. 30, 2004. The disclosures of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference. FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates to the online storage technology, particularly to a communication system and method for implementing online file storage based on an instant messaging (IM) platform. BACKGROUND [0003] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. Online storage is a remote storage service based on a Client/Server (C/S) mode, mainly providing basic file services such as storing, sharing, transferring, copying, etc. [0004] There are two kinds of mode in the existing online storage: a Web mode and a special client-based mode. Among the two modes, the online storage in the Web mode usually bound with an e-mail box is easily accepted by users because it can be used like an e-mail box; and the online storage in the special client-based mode is the online storage service based on a special client software, which is usually bound with the Windows Explorer and is easily to be operated by users, and the functions and speed of the online storage in the special client-based mode can be guaranteed. [0005] The existing remote online storages, however, all have some drawbacks. For example, the online storage in the Web mode provides bad basic file operations, because the steps of the basic file operations are fussy, and the functions and speed are all limited; while the online storage in the special client-based mode can be used only after the special online storage client is downloaded, holding back the popularity of the online storage service. SUMMARY [0006] An embodiment of the present invention provides a communication system for implementing online file storage based on an IM platform, through which a user can implement online storage operations on files through simple operations and gain functions, storing and reading speeds the same as the ones provided by the online file storage in the special client-based mode, without downloading a special online file storage client. [0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for implementing such basic operations as file storing, deleting, copying, and so on in an online file storage based on an IM platform, to enable a user to implement the online storage operations through simple operations. [0008] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for sharing files in an online file storage based on an IM platform, to enable a user to share files in an online file storage with other IM friends through simple operations. [0009] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for a user virtually copying files shared by other users to other users own online file storage, saving storing spaces for files and accelerating the speed for copying files at the same time. [0010] An embodiment of the present invention provides a communication system and a method for playing audio video (AV) files online based on an IM platform, to enable a user to online listen to or watch AV files through the online file storage communication system, greatly satisfying the requirements of users for online multimedia services. [0011] A communication system for implementing online file storage based on an IM platform includes: an IM client accessing a communication network and an online file storage access server accessing the communication network, and an online file storage server accessing the online file storage access server; [0012] the IM client is used to provide an online file storage operation interface; [0013] the online file storage access server is used to parse an IM protocol, verify a user online storage identifier and process a user request logic from the IM client; [0014] the online file storage server is used to store files in the online file storage and directory information, and process a file request from the online file storage access server. [0015] A communication system for online playing AV files in an online file storage based on an IM platform, includes: an IM client accessing a communication network and an online file storage access server accessing the communication network, an online file storage server accessing the online file storage access server, and a flow media server accessing the communication network and the online file storage access server; [0016] the IM client is used to provide an online file storage operation interface via which a user chooses online playing operations, and start a local media player to play the files in the list; [0017] the online file storage server is used to store files in the online file storage and the user data; [0018] the online file storage access server is used to process an online playing request of the user; [0019] the flow media server is used to temporarily store AV files to be played online by the IM user, generate and return a playing list to the online file storage access server.
